AN ACT to authorize the American Diocese of the Malankara Orthodox Syri-
an Church, Inc. to retroactively apply for a real property tax
exemption for certain property in the town of Oyster Bay, county of
Nassau
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary,
the assessor of the county of Nassau is hereby authorized to accept from
the American Diocese of the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church, Inc. an
application or renewal application for exemption from real property
taxes pursuant to section 420-a of the real property tax law for the
2008-2009 assessment roll, for the parcel owned by such not-for-profit
church which is located at 2158 Route Number 106, village of Muttontown
in the town of Oyster Bay, county of Nassau, otherwise known as Nassau
county tax map section 16, block B, lot 1665. If accepted, the applica-
tion or renewal application shall be reviewed as if it had been received
on or before the taxable status date established for such rolls.
If satisfied that such not-for-profit organization would otherwise be
entitled to such exemption if such not-for-profit organization had filed
an application or renewal application for exemption by the appropriate
taxable status date, the assessor may make appropriate correction to the
subject rolls. If such exemption is granted and such organization,
therefore, shall have paid any tax with respect to the subject rolls,
the applicable governing body or tax department may, in its sole
discretion, provide for the refund of those taxes paid and cancel those
taxes, fines, penalties, liens, or interest remaining unpaid.
S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
[ ] is old law to be omitted.
